Baptiste

Baptiste (1725 – 1766) was the Saint-Dominguan voodoo leader of a cult of former slaves in the Louisiana Bayou. He is also an ancestor of Moussa.

Initially, Baptiste had been an Assassin, trained alongside Agaté by their Mentor François Mackandal. However, when Mackandal was killed in 1758 and Agaté subsequently journeyed to Louisiana for personal reasons, Baptiste felt betrayed and gathered followers to form his own Maroon secret society.

Later, Baptiste made a deal with the Templars from New Orleans to force Agaté out of hiding, in return for a position among the Order. He and his followers subsequently moved to the Louisiana Bayou in 1766, where they made plans to usurp the local smuggling ring and poison the nobles of New Orleans. However, he was killed by the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré, Agaté's student, before he could put his plans in motion.
